Chapter 737 Doraemon starts to search its pockets (Thanks to ‘Tao Tao Cat’ for the 1666 reward!)
At dusk, the earth was covered with snow.

In Xin County, smoke was rising from every household. When Deng Xihou went to the 217th Headquarters with a worried look on his face, he unexpectedly saw a peaceful scene.

New houses that rose from the ruins stood on both sides of the street. There were still small businesses on the street. Some people took advantage of the slack season to draw sugar paintings on the street. Some people sold cotton shoes made of rags as soles on the side of the street…

“Eggs, eggs, in exchange for millet, cabbage, radish…”

“Window paper-cuts, blessing characters, couplets…exchange cloth to make clothes for the children at home for the New Year…”

“Thousand-layer sole…”

People in Xin County started doing business, even if it was the most primitive barter. Even though many people working in factories in Xin County could receive border area tickets every month, barter still existed. After all, there were still many people here who could not enter the factories.

“Is this still the Xin County we saw before?”

Deng Xihou asked in confusion. The Sichuan Army officer behind him was looking at the pedestrians on the street in surprise. These pedestrians were different from those who came out to shop in big cities. They spoke a mixture of Henan accent, Shanxi accent and the similar Chahar accent. Children were running wildly on the street, occasionally tripping over stones on the dirt road, and adults were talking to each other, laughing and joking…

Nowadays, few people stay at home. There is neither TV nor mobile phone at home. Everyone finds a wall sheltered from the wind and chats in groups of three or four. Some even play chess and enjoy the fun of joking with neighbors.

“Hey, Commander Deng!”

You Kui’er had just walked out of the gate of the 217th Headquarters when he saw Deng Xihou coming over on horseback. He immediately clasped his fists and said, “It’s so cold. Why are you back to Xin County instead of Fanzhi?”

Deng Xihou just smiled and nodded: “Ah.” Then he waved his hand and said: “Go ahead, I’ll go find Chaoyang.”

As a result, Youguier did not leave. He reined in the horse, helped Deng Xihou dismount, took the reins and said, “You came at an untimely time. Our old man is not here today.”

“He’s not here!”

Deng Xihou looked back at You Kui’er in disbelief: “You told me that Ningci Okamura has returned from Wuhan, and Xu Chaoyang is not in his headquarters?”

That’s why he came.

The Japanese have returned, and even Deng Xihou has received the news. At this time, you say that your boss is not here?

You Kui’er then lowered her voice and said, “Something’s up.” Then she took Deng Xihou’s hand with a playful look and said, “Our boss has told us that if the Sichuan Army comes, whether it’s to demand food or winter cotton clothes, we’ll give them all. I can make the decision on this matter. Just tell me, what does the Sichuan Army need!”

“Your kid… Baosaisai, Guaxixi, Hachuchele, you are quite generous!”

Deng Xihou sneered: “I want to see Xu Chaoyang, stop talking nonsense!”

“Must I see you?”

Deng Xihou said with certainty: “I must see him!”

“Okay, come with me.”

You Kuier led them out of the city again and headed straight for the woods in the far suburbs of Xin County.

“Where is this?”

“Test site.”

Yu Kui’er explained: “Our boss is forbidding us to test new weapons in the arsenal. He said that the common people have finally gotten rid of the sound of gunfire and have just had a few days of peace. If they hear the sound of gunfire out of the blue, they will be scared. So, we moved the test site outside the city.”

“Password!”

A team of secret sentries suddenly rushed out of the woods, holding guns and blocking their way.

Deng Xihou had never seen that gun before. It was neither the H34Y assigned to them, nor the Type rifle of the Japanese. He actually didn’t recognize it!

“Great Wall Cannon!”

“Da Lilun!”

There was a pair of passwords on both sides. When Deng Xihou looked back at You Kui’er, he was dumbfounded: “What kind of password is this? If there is a spy, even if I think of a hole in my brain, it won’t match, right?”

You Kui’er smiled and said, “I don’t know either, but the boss probably set this password for safety.” When these people entered the depths of the dense forest, Xu Chaoyang and Yang Jingyu were standing next to a pile of ammunition boxes. Yang Jingyu was holding a new gun and constantly pulling the trigger – bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…

The semi-automatic rifle has smoother firepower continuity, more stable gun performance, and less recoil… After firing these bullets, Deng Xihou still hasn’t reacted…

“Chaoyang, this thing works great. It’s more powerful than the H34Y we made ourselves.”

“Hahaha, you’ll be happy if you spend money!”

“What is this nonsense!”

“Hey, Commander Deng is here?”

When Yang Jingyu turned around, he happened to see Deng Xihou. He said nothing and looked quite happy. However, when they passed each other, he glared at You Kuier viciously.

Deng Xihou didn’t care about the internal affairs of their 217. Old Deng walked towards Xu Chaoyang.

“Chaoyang, have you heard about the Japanese returning?”

“heard.”

Xu Chaoyang aimed the new gun and closed one eye as he spoke: “Terauchi Juichi resigned and went to Europe to participate in the alliance with Germany and Italy. The North China Front Army was leaderless. Okamura Yasuji returned and led the 101st Division, the 106th Division, and the Hata Detachment. They were called the ‘strongest army of the newly built divisions’ and were the ones who broke through the Ma’an Fortress.”

“Although there is no battle plan yet, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is heading for the Shanxi battlefield.”

“The Hata detachment was transferred from the island in the south. It seems that they fought with Seediq Bale and were beaten to death.”

“Humph~”

Xu Chaoyang seemed to have made up his mind and pulled the trigger – bang!

With a gunshot, the scarecrow about a hundred meters away was directly pierced by the bullet, and several straws broke into pieces and fell in the air.

“Then why aren’t you in a hurry?”

“Why am I in a hurry?”

“Old Xizi Yan has already sent people to contact the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region. What’s the point of me getting anxious? Will the Japanese withdraw their troops just because I jump up and down? Then I’ll go up to the roof tomorrow and jump down from the roof every day… Don’t we still have to fight?”

“Old top.”

A soldier nearby brought over a machine gun. Deng Xihou had seen the 217th Army using that machine gun before. It seemed to be an imitation of the German MG30…

The soldier mounted the machine gun on the ammunition box, handed the gun to Xu Chaoyang, and loaded bullets for him.

Xu Chaoyang lowered his head and immediately pulled the trigger again – da da da da da da da!
After a moment, with very little recoil, all the bullets were used up, and the scarecrow was covered with dust all over its body, and was slowly falling backwards.

“How many came down this time?”

“A total of 30 imitation MG325s were produced, but the production line is still running.”

“Take away 769 for the 300th Regiment…”

He had just finished speaking when four soldiers came over from a distance carrying a huge gun. Deng Xihou almost forgot what he came here for. Isn’t this thing a Maxim heavy machine gun?

The machine gun was set up, Xu Chaoyang squatted behind the heavy machine gun and opened fire again – bang bang bang bang bang!
As soon as the gunshots fell, a shout of curse came over. Yang Jingyu was behind them, pointing at You Kui’er’s nose and cursing: “Don’t you have a brain?”

“Who can come to this kind of place?”

“Why don’t you bring your aunt here tomorrow?”

He seemed to have misjudged the time when the gun stopped, and all the sounds entered Deng Xihou’s ears, which made Deng Xihou very angry…

Yang Jingyu reacted and said embarrassedly: “No, that’s not what I meant…” Xu Chaoyang knew that Yang Jingyu might have been scolding You Kuier for a long time, and the corners of his mouth drooped, and he was about to be unable to hold back his joy.
